I ordered some Fyrinnae a while back, as I wanted to get a new tube of the Velvet Gel Silica Primer. I also got some samples of some shadows, of course. I swatched them for you, and also swatched a few extra colors from my collection, too. […]

I ended up being able to do a bright and fun look today. I knew I wanted to use Psyche Minerals Slime and UltraViolet Rhapsody. I decided that I needed Fyrinnae Glitterboi for the crease and Venomous Pegasus for the browbone. I applied the Pegasus first on the browbone and crease, then I applied Pixie Epoxy to the lid and crease. I filled in the lid with Slime, leaving a space at the center of the lid to apply UltraViolet Rhapsody as a ‘highlight’ color on the lid. Then I worked on applying Glitterboi in the crease. […]

Today I needed to look nice and dress up a bit since I was helping to conduct interviews. I went for what I thought was a fairly sophisticated grey look with Fyrinnae’s Glass Coffin as the central eye color. Glass Coffin is a dove grey with vibrant pink shimmer. It’s lovely. […]

This is what I wore for New Years. I stayed in at a friend’s house with friends and loved ones, rather than go out. It was a fantastic party. My liner was a little wonky, but whatever. Happy 2011 everyone We didn’t get home until after 4am, so I definitely had fun and am a bit tired. I used Sugarpill (affiliate link), of course. […]

Today I put together a beautiful reader request of Faerie Glamour & Bustle. It turned into a gorgeous peacock look. I’d probably do a few things different, but not much, if I tried this again. It’s visually stunning in person. I started this look out differently than normal. While I’ll often use a white or skintone type shade on the crease and browbone to make it easier to blend colors, after I did that, I did sort of a swish ~ type of shape with Knight Divine. I wanted to have a slightly darker base color to blend Faerie Glamour and Bustle onto in the crease. I love the results. As far as Feline goes, it lasts on my upper lash line no problem. It does smudge a bit on my lower lash line, even with primer. HOWEVER, this is why I don’t put mascara on my lower lash line, because it smears there, too. I really like Feline on my upper lash line. I haven’t tried it on my waterline yet. NC15/NW20 is a bit darker/yellower than I expected, but if I blend it out with a brush, I like the results. Apparently, it can be used for a matte highlight anywhere on the face, too. […]

I wanted to talk a little about giving back. Some indie companies do this and I really respect them for it. Fyrinnae and BftE Cosmetics are two of the companies that I know that give back in some form. BftE Cosmetics gives back at the community level. BftE donates to their local library, to the dog [...]

For Christmas Eve, I went to a party at my friend’s house with a bunch of my friends. I made lots of red velvet chocolate chip cookies. I played in my eye shadows, a LOT, for this look. Like, I used a million different shadows, all layered, to try and add extra dimension and depth in ways I don’t normally do. Unfortunately, the camera fell flat at actually picking up all the awesomeness. The following image is the only one that comes close to capturing the depth and shadows that were at play. […]
